Which Bears had the best performance in the loss to the Rams?
It's time for five on Leyla Rahimi and Marshall Harris with Mark Grove. Bring you five topics on their mind today. On Chicago Sports Radio, 670 the score. No Number one.
You're listening to a Plumbers 911 Football Monday presented by Bucey Bank. Here's question number one. Which bear had the best game and which bear had the most disappointing game in the season ending loss to the Rams yesterday?
It was the best of times. It was the blurst of times. I don't know why that came into my head. Just a lot of Simpsons references yesterday. Uh okay, I I can't I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm I'm just gonna I'm gonna send it. I think the bear that had the best game outside of Caleb Williams because Caleb Williams is number one for me.
Oh, we are we not doing Caleb Williams as part of this?
We are, but I just want to give him a a mention as well.
Oh, okay.
Jaquan Brisker. Jaquan Brisker studied the film. He, you could tell, was not phased by a bunch of the banana and the tail pipe pipe tricks the Rams were running. As you mentioned, I feel like he ended a single drive on his own. Like single-handedly. He was like, oh, I'm gonna be pass rushing on this down, and then I'm gonna have a nice pass breakup, and then now your drive is over. So I just can't get enough of what Jaquan Brisker did yesterday defensively. I thought he was such a key. Cog and that is not to take anything away. From the rest of the defense, but When you see a player rise to the occasion like that and Caleb Williams did, I'm not omitting Caleb Williams. I'm just adding Jaquad. This is not a takeaway thing.
This is a plus thing. So I feel like because of that, Jaquan Brisker just had when you can change a drive, you are a game changer. That is how that works. And there are some players that I feel like we haven't even tapped into the potential yet on the Bears for guys who can rise to the occasion in the playoffs. We haven't been to the playoffs enough to know what that roster looks like on this team. Who those guys are who rise to the occasion. You know about guys like Joe Tooney because frankly they've got the playoff experience. So to see that for me it was Jaquan Brisker at least deserving the honorable mention what we saw out of Caleb Williams. Which bearer had the most disappointing game? This is where it gets tough.
DJ Moore caught the touchdown pass, so can you say it's DJ because of that final play? I don't think I can. Was it Colston Loveland because he had more drops than expected? I hate to say it, but it might be on the rookie for me. Just because I thought he was going to be more of a factor, unfortunately, than he ended up being in the game.
Okay. I hear you. I understand the Jaquan Brisker pick. Guy led the team in tackles and was a a force beyond. I'm gonna say though I expect Jaquan Brisker to do big things because he's been here all year. I did not expect Kyler Gordon to give me what Kyler Gor Gordon gave me based on missing so much time and also the fact that he looked a little rusty even last week. So for him to come up with the sack, the tackle for loss and uh quarterback hit, like for him to do the things that he did in this game and to be kind of a factor in the run game as well. And I I don't know why Sean McVay didn't lean on the thirteen personnel more than he did, 'cause that's kinda how he, you know, s separated himself. But if you're looking at reasons why they held the top
Scoring offense, the top total yardage offense to just three forty and a twenty points. I think Kyler Gordon's gotta get a touch there. So I'm gonna say he had the best game given the circumstances. Worst game, you're talking about rookies. What about guys who've been here for a minute? Looking at Roma Dunze. Two catches on six targets. I know he had the big catch on the sideline, but he had the drop of the touchdown pass, another drop. I I just two catches for forty four yards in a game of this magnitude. And you look how far down he is even in targets. And I know he's hurt. But Luther Burton had seven targets. Cole Komet caught all three of his targets.
